Jurgen Klopp lauded his “unbelievable” players for a special victory against Barcelona that propelled this group into the Champions League final and Liverpool folklore.

Few expected to see the Reds make it to next month’s Madrid finale after a 3-0 first-leg defeat at the Nou Camp, but the five-time European champions will face Ajax or Tottenham after digging deep in stunning fashion.

Liverpool went ahead after just seven minutes through Divock Origi and kicked on in the second half, when substitute Georginio Wijnaldum’s quickfire brace was followed by Origi notching from a quick corner to seal a 4-0 win and progress 4-3 on aggregate.

“I said it so often now but the thing that made it really possible – and I said to the boys before ‘I don’t think it’s possible but because it’s you I think we have a chance’ – they are really mentality giants. It’s unbelievable.

“After the season we played, the games we had, the injuries we had now in this moment, if you go out there and ask who bet a penny on us, I don’t think you find a lot of people.

What a special night! We promised each other that we couldn’t give up. That we’d fight until the end. We did it together. Thank you, Anfield! We’re in the final. And we’re gonna keep fighting. YNWA! pic.twitter.com/9mq1GzL1zW

Klopp hailed Trent Alexander-Arnold’s speed of thought after putting in the corner for the a goal that keeps Liverpool dreaming of two trophies.

While Manchester City are in the driving seat for the Premier League title heading into Sunday’s finale, the Reds will look to capitalise on any slip up by beating Wolves at Anfield.

Klopp said his players did not want to talk about City’s win against Leicester ahead of Tuesday’s match at Anfield, where they sealed the chance to make amends for last season’s Champions League final loss to Real Madrid.
